Chapter 158: Comfort

As soon as the matter of the previous dynasty was resolved, Liu Zhao's whole person relaxed, and when he came to the next dynasty, he called Liu Qing and Li He to leave and let them go to Deyang Hall to see them.

When Liu Qing and Li He came to the courtyard of the Deyang Palace, they saw Liu Zhao standing at the door of the hall waiting for him. Liu Qing and Li He trembled, took a few steps forward, and bowed three times and bowed nine times: "Minister Liu Qing, Minister Li He Gong knocks on the emperor Jin'an, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing them saluting, Liu Qing walked down the stairs, held the two of them with his own hands and said, "Brother Huang looks fine, but looking at the dark circles in his eyes, he didn't sleep last night, okay?" As he spoke, he entered the hall and ordered: "Come, serve tea to the prince and Lord Li, and give them a seat!" ”

After the two sat down, Li He said: "What the emperor said today seems to be like divine help, a few words make those courtiers have nothing to say, since the emperor ascended the throne, there are few such sharp words, and the ministers sincerely admire the emperor today!" ”

Liu Zhao was slightly proud, but seeing Liu Qing pressing his head and looking listless, he said: "Brother Huang, but I have a headache, how about I find the imperial doctor to show Brother Huang?" ”

Liu Qing hurriedly said: "The body of the minister's dog and horse is so concerned!" These days are indeed insomnia and sleepless, the shadow of my father and my mother is always shaking in front of me, the pain in my heart is still incomprehensible, and the queen mother has not seen Liu Qing until she died, I am regretful......" said his voice was a little hoarse and choked.

Liu Zhao was also a little sad in his heart, but he had already said those words, so he had to continue to say step by step at this moment: "I am also uncomfortable in my heart, but the person has passed away, and it is useless to hurt more." The royal brother is not as good as me, he always loves to be sad and sad, how can this kind of temperament be good? Do you want to go with you to Fan Zhai Spring to worship and comfort the souls of the two nobles in the sky? ”

Liu Qing was sad, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is sighing for himself. You can't confess to your mother. ”

Liu Zhao saw that he was sad and comforted: "This is a helpless thing, in fact, I also hate my mother for being too vicious, but the past is over, and it is not a matter to always keep it in my heart." The grievances of the previous generation can't always be held on, right? ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qing couldn't hold back any longer. Hide your face and weep. Tears poured out of my fingers, just because I couldn't be rude in front of the king, and I couldn't make a sound. Just convulsions all over the body...... After a while, Fang wiped his tears and said, "The minister has lost his honor...... In fact, there is the emperor's words, and the minister is very content......" said Tears welled up again, and he was busy wiping them again.

Liu Zhao was also helpless, and originally wanted to persuade his brother. Don't just be sad, wouldn't it be good to have a few relatives? But who thought that the more he talked, the more sad he became. For a while, I didn't know what to do.

Li He pulled Liu Qing and said, "Lord Qinghe, you are too disrespectful. The emperor has already said this point, to you, to the deceased Queen Jingyin. They are all righteous. If you weep before you again, you are out of character. ”

He mentions the word "reverence". Liu Qingcai stopped wailing, indeed, from Liu Zhao's position, he had tried his best to save it. Thinking about what he said in the court, it was indeed from the bottom of his heart, and every sentence was reasonable. It's just that when I think of my mother's tragic death, I feel unwilling. But so what? So, I had to wipe away my tears and forced a smile: "Yes, it's the minister who is too childish." Please don't blame the emperor! ”

Liu Zhao waited for him to calm down and said: "I know your temperament very well, so I will keep you after the next dynasty, I wanted to comfort you a few words, but now this is the situation." What else can you do with me? It's too hard to blindly find fault with me! ”

These words are already extremely serious, Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, the minister has no pickiness about the emperor, the minister just can't get over it in his heart, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”

"That's it, how can I be angry with you, you and I have grown up together since childhood, my father has always treated us equally, you and I have a deep brotherhood, how can we hurt our feelings because of these things. Come, drink some tea and calm down. At this time, Liu Qing had nothing to say, so he had to take a sip of tea and force himself to suppress the sadness in his heart.

Seeing that the matter had calmed down, Li He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister was promoted by the emperor, and now he is a third-grade official, and now he eats well and lives well, thank you very much to the emperor." ”

Liu Zhao smiled and said: "You deserve this, I still don't think it's enough, it's just that the Qing family should have more strategies for the country, and you can't always hide behind the scenes, how about I want to promote you to be an imperial historian?" ”

Li He smiled and said: "Your Majesty said this, you really regard the minister as a confidant, and the minister will die to repay Your Majesty, but now is not the time, the minister should not be too ostentatious." Chenben cloth, hidden in the court, this hidden word can be of great use, please think twice. ”

"Whatever you want! It's just that I really don't know, what does this great use mean? ”

Li He smiled slightly, pointed to the sky and said, "Your Majesty, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, and when the time comes, the ministers will invite Your Majesty." ”

Liu Zhao nodded and said: "Since Mr. said so, what else do I have to say, Mr. Wang's decision is mostly for Liu Zhao's conspiracy." ”

Liu Qing said at this moment: "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of names in the yamen recently, and it is more difficult for the ordinary people to do something than ascending to the sky. However, there are more and more personnel in the official office, and there are more and more people raised by the imperial court, and the imperial court has repeatedly said that it wants to recruit talents, but it is not known whether they are really talents. The imperial court is a place to raise people, but it can't raise such people. There shall not be more of these officials who are not officials in the heads of the people! ”

Liu Zhao listened carefully, and nodded from time to time, but he didn't take these opinions seriously, he summoned Liu Qing to come, and didn't want him to do any government affairs, just wanted to comfort him, talk about homeliness, he hadn't been summoned for a long time, and he also had a lot to say to this brother, and political opinions came second, so he muttered: "Your article is very desirable, you can write it out, and I order the ministers to discuss it and see how to do it." If everything is profitable, it will produce disadvantages, and we should not be paranoid, thinking that if it is evil, why should it be profitable. Weigh it up, and it's not unavoidable. Although you are my elder brother, you could have been pampered, but you are still always worried about my world, this is the real brother, the real minister. ”

Liu Qing bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is actually taught by Mr. Li." He just didn't say it to the emperor, although the minister was stupid, but he also knew that the world was my big man's world, if I didn't do my heart, who else would be dedicated. Although the gentleman did not say it to the emperor. It's the same with the minister. In the early Ming Dynasty, I wrote a note to discuss with the ministers, although this seems to be a small matter on the surface, over time, but it is a big thing. The emperor still thinks twice! ”

Hearing what Li He said, Liu Zhao was slightly stunned. "Why didn't the gentleman tell me these words?" And what about borrowing the mouth of the King of the Qing River? ”

Li He said: "I am the last official, and I always don't speak in the court, if I talk too much, it is really disadvantageous." And King Qinghe is the emperor's elder brother, so he naturally speaks much more heavily than the old minister. So for some things, I still ask the prince to work harder. The emperor doesn't have to mind, these are all the same. ”

Liu Zhao had to sigh: "I really don't understand. How long will the gentleman be hidden? ”

As he was talking, Che Qing came in. He said: "Your Majesty, Deng Guiren heard that His Majesty has gone to court, and he brought fruit snacks and a few side dishes. Your Majesty, please taste it, and now I am waiting under the porch. I heard that the prince and Master Li were here, so I wanted to go back. The minion pondered for a reply! ”

Liu Zhao smiled: "You are still interesting, let Sui'er come in." How could I ignore her thoughts! ”

Hearing that Sui'er was coming, Liu Qing's heart trembled, and the teacup he was holding almost fell to the ground. He didn't want to enter the palace for a long time, because of Sui'er, he wanted to see it but was afraid to see it, and he could only think about it in his heart, so he simply didn't want to see it. But at this moment, Sui'er came, and he couldn't hide no matter what, so he had to sigh and stare at the door.

Sui'er quietly entered, and suddenly felt the fragrance of the room, and her eyes lit up. She didn't decorate it purposely, she only wore a pale yellow colorful dark flower cloud brocade dress, the color was clean and clean, and her skin looked snow-white. There is a flowing cloud bun on her head, secretly matching the pattern of the palace costume, and the gold-colored flowing clouds on her head are shaking, swaying with her walking, although she is not ostentatious, but it shows that her body is slender and fitting, and the brilliance is dazzling, even Li He is not satisfied with the secret sigh in his heart, it is really beautiful and natural, bright and beautiful.

Sui'er lowered her blessing, "The emperor is blessed, the concubines don't know that the prince and Lord Li are here, so there is a lot of disturbance!" ”

Liu Zhao smiled: "It's not your fault, they are also brought by me." In the past few days, for the sake of the Queen Mother, everyone has some knots in their hearts, and now that they have untied it, they are all happy. Since Sui'er has brought delicious food, it is better for everyone to taste it together, and it will not be in vain for Sui'er's intentions. ”

As he spoke, he walked down and pulled Sui'er to sit beside him. Liu Zhao only felt a huge pain in his heart, and he didn't look up at Sui'er, tears almost rushed into his eyes again, and it took several times to suppress them.

Sui'er ordered Zhao Yu, Ziyan and Ling'er to put the fruits, snacks and side dishes on the table, and said to Liu Qing with a smile: "Lord Wang, these small dishes are cooked by Sui'er himself, Lord Wang and Master Li taste them, Sui'er's craftsmanship is good?" ”

Li He hurriedly said: "Thank you Niangniang, then the old minister is better to be respectful!" ”

He took a bite and said, "Okay, the taste is appropriate, and the craftsmanship of the mother can be called excellent." ”

Sui'er smiled and said, "My lord praised me." She looked at Liu Qing, the king of the river, and saw that he still didn't move his chopsticks, so she said again: "Why doesn't the prince like Sui'er's dishes?" Isn't it not to the prince's taste? ”

King Qinghe was feeling sad in his heart, where was he in the mood to eat, only to hear what she said, he took a few bites and ate it into his mouth, but he didn't know the taste of food, so he only coped: "Niangniang's craftsmanship is indeed good." ”

Sui'er glanced at Liu Qing, saw that he was pale, his eyes were dark, his eyes were wandering, and he knew that he was in a very bad mood, so he said to Liu Zhao: "Your Majesty, Sui'er has seen that Lord He's face is not good, is it too sad these days?" The emperor should comfort his brother! ”

Liu Zhao smiled, shook her hand and said, "I know, I have talked to him just now." Somehow, as soon as you came, he was not happy. ”

Sui'er giggled and said, "Lord, did Sui'er make the prince unhappy, didn't I disturb the emperor and the prince to discuss state affairs?" ”

"Where did Niangniang say, I wasn't unhappy, but I was in a bad mood these days, I really couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and I asked Niangniang not to be surprised."

Sui'er nodded and said, "Lord Wang, his natural temperament is sentimentality, and it's no wonder that Lord Wang." Sui'er heard that the prince has two beautiful wives, both of whom are extremely beautiful, and the prince is really a blessing. ”

She seemed to be an unintentional sentence, but it made Liu Zhao and Liu Qing take a breath at the same time! (To be continued)
